Sizing Up Your Down Comforter
Down comforters are terrific bed toppers; they are luxurious, provide warmth and coziness, and are nice-looking to boot. There are comforters suited for almost all types of beds, and they are conventionally bigger and wider than fitted sheets and the mattresses they cover. Twin beds for instance, have mattresses that measure 39 by 75 inches or 99 by 190 centimeters. Twin fitted sheets have the same dimensions, but comforters for twin beds measure 68 by 86 inches or 173 by 218 centimeters.
Comforters for Full-sized beds normally have identical dimensions as the ones for Queen-sized mattresses. Both measure 86 by 86 inches or 218 by 218 centimeters. In contrast, Full fitted sheets are only 54 by 75 inches or 137 by 190 centimeters in width and length, while Queen fitted sheets are 60 inches wide by 80 inches long. Sheet and comforter sets are also available in Extra Long Twin, King, and California King to match the same mattress sizes.

Many people enjoy the luxury offered by a down pillow but are less thrilled when it comes time to wash it. After all, with the delicate down feathers, many people are at a loss about how to wash these items properly. While the fallback answer is to dry-clean it, this can be equally frustrating, because it can get very expensive after multiple cleanings.
For that reason, don’t be afraid to throw your Pacific Coast down pillows in the washing machine. Just follow some of the following tips. For one, always use the gentle cycle, and make sure the detergent is gentle. Also, only use cold-water settings. When it comes to drying, air-drying is the best option.
